Since Monday we are having a long cold period, with Dublin covered by the snow and the public transport blocked in all the town.
Almost half of flights have been cancelled, which amounts to over 200 flights. All Aer Lingus flights have been cancelled, so passengers who booked to travel with this company are advised not to come to the airport. Ryanair cancelled flights for tonight, and Aer Arann also had to cancel six flights and divert two others.
Snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures bring the closure of dozens of schools, dangerous streets for pedestrians and many late trains. Also frustrated commuters have problem with the heavy traffic and long queues.
This month is the coldest since 2001, so we hope the weather will be better next month.
